Fairmat is a derivative and capital investments modelling tool. It permits you to build a pricing model for many financial projects (or derivative contracts) using a graphical representation blended with a high level algebraic language. It is also possible to use it to evaluate projects and perform real options valuations. The platform can be extended using a plug-in system.

Release Notes: This release focuses on bugfixing and on improving reliability, the plugins system's robustness, and GUI usability. For example, sensitivity and impact analyses can be applied now also to functions. In this case, the functions will be translated by constant amounts. This feature is very handy when it is necessary to perform stress tests on discounting curves or other non-scalar objects. This release also fixes two regressions included in version 1.3.1 which affected Ubuntu and Mac OS X releases.

WCD is a directory changer for DOS and Unix. Another NCD (Norton Change Directory) clone. This program jumps to a (sub)directory anywhere in the directory-tree. The directory to jump to can be given by only the first characters or an expression with wildcards.

Release Notes: Wildcard expansion has been disabled for all DOS and Windows versions to fix unexpected behaviour. The support for Open Watcom C has been improved. The code has been cleaned up.

Berusky is a logic game that is based on an
ancient puzzle named Sokoban. The old idea of
moving boxes in a maze has been expanded with new
logic items such as explosives, stones, special
gates, and so on. In addition, up to five bugs can
cooperate and be controlled by the player.

Release Notes: This release includes new player profiles, level maps, and a double-size mode.

The YB.ORM library aims to simplify writing C++ code that has to deal with SQL databases. The goal is to provide a convenient interface like SQLAlchemy (Python) or Hibernate (Java). The library itself is cross-platform and supports a variety of SQL dialects: SQLite3, MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, and Firebird. Integration with Boost, Qt4, and wxWidgets is built-in. In a typical usage scenario, you would describe your database schema and table relationships in a simple XML-based format, generate SQL code to populate database schema with tables, generate C++ classes, add application-specific logic to the classes, and use these classes in cooperation with the Session object to query objects from the database, create new or modify/delete existing objects, or link and unlink objects using relations. Simple serialization to XML is supported along with connection pooling.

Release Notes: This release integrated a native SQLite driver for use in non-Qt builds. It is used in Windows builds by default. Logging in the ORM core was improved. URLs can now be used to specify connections. New --with-test-db-url and --with-yborm-root configure script options and a YBORM_URL environment variable were added. Problems with deletion of objects were fixed. The interfaces of MetaData classes was cleaned up, making the generated code more readable. A new Expression class replaced the old Filter class.

documentr is a Web-based tool for editing and presenting software documentation. It allows you to easily maintain documentation for multiple products and product branches. Edits can easily be copied between branches, with merge conflicts being handled gracefully. It uses Markdown as its markup language, along with some extensions, and has a role-based permission system.

OpenSimulator is a multi-platform, multi-user 3D distributed virtual environment platform. Out of the box, it can be used to simulate virtual environments similar to that of Second Life. These can be used as social virtual worlds or for specific applications such as education, training, and visualization. Access is via the regular Second Life open-source viewer or via third-party clients. There are a number of private and public deployments of OpenSimulator, including OSgrid, which has over 8000 regions hosted by independent individuals and organizations spread over the Internet.

Release Notes: This release included a very large number of bugfixes and general improvements. In particular, teleport reliability between simulators has been improved, Windlight environment settings are persisted, telehubs are supported, llCastRay() has been implemented, and user inventory HTTP capabilities have been fixed.
